The winning entry from an annual contest calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term. This year's term: Political correctness.

"Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

Thank you so much for sharing that, NoJive

I believe the only news that would bring a bigger smile to my face regarding PC is word of its demise.

How do you avoid handling the turd in order to find the clean end without getting your hands dirty

Well here's a bit of PC that had me spewing. It involves a Police shooting in Vancouver of a few days ago that left one man dead. A less than desirable outcome for all involved certainly and this is not about the right or wrong of it all? but rather how a spokesman for the Vancouver Police Department described the expired individual.

Explaining how the suspect, swinging a chain with a padlock on the end it, knocked out one officer and injured another before a third officer shot and killed the assailant....the spokesman went on to say that; pepper spray doesn?t work well on goal oriented individuals.

Goal oriented individuals ! WTF is that all about? Someone swinging a chain trying to take your head off is goal oriented ? Well technically yes?perhaps but I don?t think so. Some one trying to loose 50 pounds is goal oriented. Saving money for that trip..that car that computer that? whatever, is a Goal Oriented. . Swinging chains at cops doesn?t make the cut.

Can't say somebody just lost it or was out of their mind...no... they are now goal oriented. Give me a big fucking break!!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't pepper spray designed to stop or slow down "goal-oriented individuals"? Why would you want to use it on someone who isn't goal-oriented (i.e., threatening)?

nah, pepper spray is for demonstrators(*), not for somebody who's desperate to hurt you.


It's commonly used as a self defense for women - pressumably rape isn't as much fun if your eyes hurt like hell,
but it does not help on people doped out of their mind, or people that are in a fight-or-flight situation (not that there's
that much difference biochemical).

Honestly, I never considerd it much of a self defense weapon either. It's way to easy to get it into your face in a close up situation instead,
it does not stop junkies, it does not leave a (semi)-permament mark on your attacker... the only thing more bloody useless is a taser in the
hands of a non professional (it has only one shot - hew good can a untrained person aim in a high stress situation where she'd use a taser in the first place?)

so long,
TP

* and that's the nicer countries on this globe. Here they mostly use giant water canons to disperse demonstrators, other places the use 'rubber bullets' which
tend to put out eyes...

Whenever I find these reports about PC getting me down all I have to do is read or hear one of George Carlin's routines on the subject to cheer me up.

Well, that's kind of my point. Are you saying that demonstrators are not "goal-oriented individuals"? A goal-oriented individual is, quite simply, someone who is motivated to achieve a goal. If what this spokesman said is correct, pepper spray will only really work on people who have no particular goal in mind--that is, people you wouldn't have to use pepper spray on in the first place!

In other words, I wasn't contesting the spokesman's claim, I was taking issue with the rather ambiguous way he described the perp.

well, there are goals, and there are goals, I guess.
Personally, I'd classify demonstrators as 'objective-oriented individuals' - ie. they want to reach a long term goal,
while a goal is something that's supposed to be achieved in the next few minutes...

but I disgress, and I agree with your opinion - ridiculous way to say 'when attacked by guy swinging chain, use distance weapon'....
